DIY Banana and Avocado Homemade Conditioner Dry Hair

Hey Everybody! Get SUPER Excited!  I'm back with another informational beauty blog.   Let's talk beauty…winter hair deep conditioner your hair will love it! 




Homemade hair conditioner is cheap, convenient, effective and environmentally responsible.  The most important thing you can do for your hair is keep it clean and well-nourished. Proper hair care and conditioning is vital. Homemade conditioning treatments made out of natural creams and oils can help heal dry, brittle hair.

Did you know?
Avocados can be used as an effective deep-conditioning treatment thanks to the oils and fats they contain that nourish hair strands.  Also, bananas are another treatment you can use on hair for repairing some of the damage that dryness causes.

Instead of spending money on a deep conditioning treatment, use the items in your pantry by creating your own deep conditioning treatment. 



Recipe for Bananas and Avocados Conditioner

Ingredients used are sufficient for medium to long hair:
1 sliced banana
1 sliced avocado
4 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1-2 egg yolk


Apply directly onto hair and scalp until saturated, cover hair with a shower cap for 1-2 hours.  Wash off mixture with warm water until hair is completely free of product.  Avoid using shampoo or conditioner for at least 48 hours as this strips the hair of the nourishment from mixture.

2016 Spring Makeup Trend

Hey Everybody! Get SUPER Excited!  I'm back with another informational beauty blog.   Let's talk beauty…


It's the season for bright red lips, electric blue eyes, glitter and false lashes.


Red lipstick is classic and come in a range of formulas, from matte to glossy, sheer to opaque.  Matte or creamy, rich red lip pairs well with classic evening attire, from a dinner out to a formal event, while a glossier or shinier red looks quite modern and fresh if you prefer an edgier style for evening.

Blue Shadow -When it comes to blue eye makeup, is any way you want. Go smoky with sparkly navy, draw a heavy line.

Glitter Eye Shadow - Apply loose glitter directly over top of existing eye shadow, prep with primer or base before eye shadow to ensure that your color stays put before you apply the glue.

False Lashes- Every day women do new things to help put their best face forward. False eyelashes are making a comeback on the red carpets, and women want to emulate.  False eyelashes are a fun, glamorous and easy way to add length and volume to your natural lashes.  The key to wearing fake lashes with confidence is making them blend naturally with your own.

Transculent Powder Instead of Tinted Powder

Hey Everybody! Get SUPER Excited!  I'm back with another informational beauty blog.   Let's talk beauty...Did you know that transculent powder can be worn all year?

Pro Tip
Try transculent powder to set makeup instead of tinted powder so you won't have to replace it season to season.


Because it’s translucent, this powder is the perfect match for any skin tone – from very fair to dark. It sets foundation for a sheer, invisible finish and has light-diffusing properties designed to help soften the appearance of imperfections for a skin-perfecting look.




Application Tips


To apply:

  • Dip or dust a powder brush into powder and tap off the excess.
  • Use a very light hand in applying. The powder brush distributes powder evenly over the face without concentrating in any one area.
  • Use downward strokes from the forehead to the chin and out to the edges of the face.

Maintain Hair While Wearing Wigs


Hey Everybody!  Get Excited!  I’m back with another informational beauty blog.  Let’s talk beauty…


Did you know that failure to properly maintain the health of your own hair while wearing a wig could actually lead to hair loss or damages?

Wearing a wig doesn't mean neglecting your real hair, which needs as much care as it did before you purchased your wig.  Your hair needs frequent cleaning and care, especially in the summertime. Although your hair is covered, bacteria can gather beneath the wig.

Shampoo and condition your hair regularly. Massage your scalp daily.  Most of all moisturizes hair to prevent damages and keep it braided or wrapped up neatly this will help keep your hair healthy.



Tip:  Give yourself a good scalp massage in the evening and in the morning, working on the skin at the top of the head to the nape of the neck.

How to Treat Dry and Flaky Eyelids


Hey Everybody!  Get Excited!  I’m back with another informational beauty blog.  Let’s talk beauty…Did you know that the eyelid is one of the most common areas irritation?  The skin of the eyelid is extremely sensitive and more prone to allergic reaction than the tough skin on your hands. Although dry, itchy eyelids are usually attributed to makeup.  Dry, flaky eyelids can be a sign of infection or inflammation that requires medical attention, but they can also arise as a reaction to certain skin and eye products or result from hormonal changes. There are a few ways to reduce the dryness on your eyelids, but the sensitivity of the area must be kept in mind.

Here are some things you can do to reduce your discomfort.

Petroleum Jelly

Petroleum Jelly is a wonderful alternative why to treat dry eyelid. Dip a Q-tip into some petroleum jelly and spread a thin layer over your eyelid. Do not put chunks or thick layers over your eyelid; this will suffocate the skin and could cause more irritation. It is best to do this at nighttime right before bed, since petroleum jelly can leave eyelids looking shiny. Repeat this for about a week or until the dryness goes away.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Apply extra virgin olive oil to your eyelids. Rinse your face with warm water and leave it damp. Dip a cotton ball into the extra virgin olive oil and gently rub it onto your eyelids. Olive oil is a natural ingredient that penetrates deep and seals in moisture.

Aloe Vera

Immediate relief of discomfort from your dry eyelids can be achieved using Aloe Vera, which contains soothing and healing properties.    Apply Aloe Vera as often as necessary. It will not build up on your skin like most skin products.  Make sure to use an Aloe Vera product that contains no preservatives and that is made up of at least 98 percent.

Daily Care

Taking proper daily care of your skin is the most important aspect to ridding your eyelids of dry skin, as well as further preventing dry eyelids. It's best to never sleep with makeup on your face because it doesn't allow your skin to breath. Cleanse your face every night before bed, followed by moisturizing your eyelids. Also, eyelids are especially sensitive to the sun. You can wear a light combination facial sunscreen and moisturizer to prevent dryness due to sun exposure.

Makeup Tips

Until your eyelids are successfully treated for dryness, there are a couple tips you can use in the meantime to ensure that your makeup goes on smoothly. Wearing liquid eye shadow instead of powder eye shadow will ensure no clumping occurs. If you do use powder eye shadow, use a primer beforehand to create a smooth base over your eyelid.
